Hi,
On GPU specs its stated that the Minimum System Power Requirement (W) is 400W. I want to use same 6 cards on the rig.
Its also stated that the Maximum Graphics Card Power (W) is 120W.
I have Corsair HX1200i PSU. Based on above, it seems a 2400W PSU would be required (for 6 GPUs having 400W each) or its something I am really missing.
Looking forward for your response.
Regards,
Rizwan
The PSU requirement in the GPU specs is listed with the assumption that you have an entire single-GPU desktop system, so multiplying that out by 6 would assume you have 6 independent single-GPU desktop systems, and the cards are not consolidated into one system. Additionally, the listed 400W is only an approximation, so PSU requirements would vary wildly, obviously, if your CPU was, say, a 220W AMD 9590 vs. a low-power Celeron.
With 6x 1060s, you could *probably* get by with a high-quality 850W power supply, assuming that you aren't overclocking and have a low-power mobo/CPU/etc. setup.
I'd personally play it safe with a good 1000W unit, if a single-PSU setup is what you want. (Note that you might run low on physical connectors, depending on what risers you intend to get.)
